What will you learn?

Lots of things! With a different topic each month, you’ll receive access to a broad range of skills and knowledge.

September – Learn lots of different moves and combinations that you can put together to your favourite track! With a kick-ass playlist that we’ll be working with, you’ll be grooving along fast in no time.

October – The Drum Solo! Something special happens when a drum solo comes on. Regardless of if you have a live drummer or just streaming music, knowing what to do when the drummer starts is important – and easier than you think!

November – Veil work, from soft as a cloud to angry and hard. The veil has more than just one characteristic and is a formable dance partner. Learn how to tame your veil, how to make it work for you and how you can make it appear in places where you’d not expect.

More topics coming for 2026 including: Tray Dance; Improvisation Made Simple; Taqsim; 4 Elements (Fire, Water, Air, Earth) and so many more!!

What will you learn?

Be Part of the Belly Dance Community’s Evolution.

Amanda will be presenting "Know Your Music" on the 2nd to last day of the event - January 25th at 8am AEDT / January 24th at 10pm CET.

Regardless of the style of bellydance you do, we all dance to songs. But, do you know what you are dancing to? It’s important not only for raqs sharqi dancers, but for any dancer to understand their song, what it means, if it has any specific cultural significance, or could cause backlash if used.

The funny thing is, it doesn’t take long to get started with researching your track. This session will give you practical suggestions on where to start, what to look for and why it’s important – not just for your own integrity, but also for how belly dance is presented.
